Primarily for jig and Texas rigs

Any okuma rod that would be good

Pair with a TCS-C-701H Okuma rod. It's perfect for what you want to do.  I have one, and that's exactly what I use it for.

TW has the Okuma C3-40X for half off right now.

Is the moderate fast action fast enough to set the hook

That's my biggest worry about the tcs

Absolutely.  No seriously.  I really like this rod, and even got another I liked it so much.  It's good for flipping and pitching too, even though it's not a flipping stick.

Thank you Mr. Glenn

Will I need braid to get a solid hookset or will p line cxx work?

I love copolymer
